Lizzie knew she had to be careful. She had to chose her words wisely to answer AnnaBeth's question. As Lizzie thought, she heard Gordo answer.

"Only if your mom wants me to be." he said. Lizzie felt relieved and shocked and amazed all at the same time. She didn't knwo what to say.

"Mom, you're supposed to kiss him." said Hunter. Lizzie blushed and Gordo and AnnaBeth laughed. Hunter slyly pulled his sister towards the beach- leaving Gordo and Lizzie alone.

"So..." said Lizzie.

"So." said Gordo. "Can I kiss you?"

Lizzie blushed and nodded. She and Gordo kissed and Pavarotti sang his opera and the fireworks shot off and the world stood still. As Lizzie pulled back she grinned.

"What?" asked Gordo confusedly.

"I like kissing you." she said. Gordo smiled and said, "Then maybe we should do it more often."

"Maybe we should." said Lizzie, wrapping her arms around Gordo and kissing him.

^^^^^^Two Weeks Later ^^^^^^

'Gordon, you've gotta tell her.' thought Gordo to himself as he sat in the orange plastic chair if the Grand Bahama Island Airport. Lizzie and AnnaBeth were getting something to drink and Hunter was watching the planes. Gordo was left to sit and ponder on the fact that he hadn't told Lizzie that they had no place to stay but her's.

Lizzie came back and sat next to Gordo. "Want some?" she asked, offering her Strawberry Smoothie straw to Gordo's lips. He shook his head.

"Hey, Lizzie, can I talk to you about something?"

"Uhm, sure. What's up?"

"About the livivng accomidations when we get home--"

"Oh, it's totally okay if you don't want me and the kids to be at your place in the begining. We have to go back to the house anway to pack."

"No, that's not it. I--well-- I don't technically have 'a place'."

"What?" Lizzie said in a tone flatter than a board.

"Dawn owned the apartment. And her dad owned the studio where I worked, so I don't have an apartment, a job, or any money besides the two thousand in my bank account."

"How long have you known about this?" snapped Lizzie angrily.

"Since before we left to come here." said Gordo, wincing. Lizzie's eyes went wide.

"Will all passengers on United Airlines FLight 9132 Service to Altanta, Georgia please begin boarding at Gate A. Thank You." said the P.A. Lizzie snatched her carry-on and took AnnaBeth's hand.

"Hunter. Let's go." she said tersely. Hunter nodded and followed his mother.

"Lizzie, we're sitting right next to eachother." said Gordo in an exasperated tone.

"Not if I can help it." shot Lizzie. She went up to the Boarding Gate and spoke to the agent there. He nodded a couple of times and glanced at Gordo. Lizzie nodded and prepared to board. She glared back around at Gordo once and then countinued to the plane. The agent came up to Gordo and said, "Sir, the lady has asked that your seat be moved away from her. Please come with me." Gordo shrugged and followed.

On the plane, Gordo couldn't help but curse Lizzie. He was sitting in the farthest back seats--you know, the ones they use to transport criminals. As he leaned his head against the wall to close his eyes for takeoff, he felt someone sit next to him. It was Hunter.

"Hey buddy." said Gordo.

"Listen, Nerd," began Hunter. "Mom doesn't mean what she said."

"How'd you know?"

"Because, she just doesn't."

"Hunter, go back up to your seat. We're about to take off."

"Nerd, just listen to me!"

"What?!"

"The reason mom is so mad is because she NEEDS a place to stay."

"What do you mean?"

"The house is dad's. He owns it and the reason they were fighting that night was because he was kicking her out."

"Oh my God. Why didn't she tell me?"

Hunter shrugged.

"Okay. Thanks buddy. Go back to your seat."

"Wait. One more thing. Mom has a little---big----a secret."

"What is it?"

"I can't tell YOU!" cried Hunter, and he ran back to his seat.

'Wierd little boy.' thought Gordo as the plane started and sped down the runway. 'I mean, what secret could Lizzie have?? It's not like she's---"

As the plant took off, Gordo was thrown back into his seat and his eyes went wide.

"Pregnant!"
